"It's a fair cop."




While sampling the new Bloc Party album "A Weekend in the City" (02/05/07 scheduled release date) I came across a riff in the song "Hunting for Witches" that caught my attention. This is the 2nd time in recent months I have heard a very distinct similarity to the strings in the Eurythmics' track "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." The other songs that seems to be using the sample is pop newbie Stefy's "Chelsea."

Now I'm not saying this is a bad thing in either instance, they're both enjoyable songs in their own space, and that strings line is one of my favorites, I just hope Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart are pickin up some sort of royalties.

Listen for yourself.
